55Perfect spot for my little dog! At 16 lbs she can get into and through a lot of things, but Bella and Ana have made sure it was secure for Ravin! She could get under the shed and deck, but it didn’t lead to anywhere other than in the yard so I didn’t mind. Plenty of space for Ravin to run and play (and even for a large dog there would be a lot of room!). We will definitely come back!Katie M.

55We had a wonderful experience here with our two dogs. Tall and short grass areas provided a exciting opportunity for our dogs to play and explore. We also visited the stream to cool off the dogs. We appreciated the multiple shaded areas for us and the dogs to get out of the sun. We will definitely be visiting again!Abigail M.

55This was our 1st visit to a sniff spot and it was great! Directions to the spot were clear, accessing the yard was easy. Our dog loved all the space to explore, including both shorter and taller grasses. We didn't go the creek but might in the future!Jessica G.

55Excellent spot! Stopped here during a drive cross country, and it was just what our dogs needed. It was very safe and secure. The back deck (the whole space, really) is beautiful. This is now one of our favorite spots & we’ll come back whenever we pass through! Rachel S.

55Super quiet and no other dogs or people around so perfect for reactive dogs! Great yard overall with plenty of space for my dogs to run around. We will be making this a monthly trip for sure. There were plenty of places to sit for us humans and water set out for the dogs.
The only downside was that some spots had overgrown tall grass and very pokie weeds. The dogs did not really care about that though and was more was my preference for not liking them messing around in that type of stuff. Piper S.

FAQ about our Blacksburg dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Blacksburg area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 17 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
